It's not clear that the relationship between urbanization and emissions in the third world is that strong when you exclude China. Also, suburban lifestyles are by far the most carbon intensive. Transportation by car and heating/co

Amazon is notorious for not caring about its employees, even the valuable ones, and having a very numbers-driven system for evaluating employees.

It depends on how you design the VR office. I've found myself staring aimlessly into the distance in Microsoft's WMR Cliff House a number of times.

Ferrari doesn't have a problem with electric motors. It's the batteries that concern them.

Ethics are only part of the equation. In terms of energy use and carbon emissions, such a system would not be a big improvement. Though I personally would find it valuable just for the ethical reasons.

I wouldn't call myself an expert, but I'm somewhat familiar with the principles. In general, I think the article is correct in most of its claims, however, I also think it's a bit too pessimistic and narrow-minded. I agree th

Which is still incredibly unscientific. Cannabis doesn't even really lower inhibitions.

Could make sense in some major cities in China, and maybe a handful of other places.

There is no legal penalty for refusing the vaccine. You still have the choice to undergo testing instead. Mandating either testing or vaccination is a perfectly reasonable workplace safety requirement during a pandemic. No one's bodily

In what way are these vaccines not vaccines? Because they are based on mRNA rather than inactive viruses or virus fragments?

I'm not sure that's entirely true. I feel like the same dynamic is still present in mixed-gender salons.

I disagree that most of your examples are comparable, with the exception of gyms and coworkers/colleagues to a degree. Getting your hair cut is a qualitatively different type of experience. You have to sit still while it's happeni

High level vector representations are concepts. That's what concepts are in the human brain too.

No, they tried just one of the methods you listed. Having it be set by user preference is an interesting idea, but whatever the default setting is will be used by the overwhelming majority of users and will be quickly subverted by attackers

AlphaGo is not merely a brute force calculator and neither is GPT-3. They have conceptual representations. That is the advantage of deep neural networks, the ability to form concepts, as biological neural networks do.

YouTube tried that and people found ways to abuse it immediately. Organized groups started going around getting chennels they don't like banned on false pretenses.

The aversion is due to cost. Simple as that. Manual moderation is simply too expensive.

Except nuclear fusion isn't 30 years away anymore. A ton of progress has been made in plasma physics. There's a good chance we'll see an energy-positive reactor by the end of this decade.

GPT-3 seems to refute these arguments. It is able to solve most understanding tasks reasonably well.

The energy comes from the air. The air molecules in the wake of the propeller have lower kinetic energy than the rest of the air.

Centralized censorship is dangerous and should be avoided. However, a distributed system of gatekeepers (e.g. newspaper editors prior to the creation of the internet) has its benefits. Competition limits the power of censorship, but the cen

Some of the unpowered exoskeletons are pretty impressive, and all things considered, $10-20k isn't that crazy a price. After all, they are not really being mass produced, and are pretty complex mechanical systems. I'd love to see

Such a shame that they aren't making an electric one, but I suspect they will once they hit the limit on EV tax credits for the Lightning and Mach-E.
